Chinese stand in support and solidarity with the Middle Way Approach

“As Chinese people, we profoundly realize that the “Middle Way Approach” is a valuable proposal for solving the Tibet issue, promoting reconciliation between China and Tibet, and promoting democracy in China.

“We support this. We hope that the Chinese government will cherish the wisdom and courage shown by the Dalai Lama and give a sincere and sincere response, seize the fleeting historical opportunity, restore negotiation with the Dalai Lama and his representatives and strive for the Dalai Lama and Tibetans to return to Tibet as soon as possible to jointly establish a free and peaceful Tibet that enjoys genuine autonomy.

“The Middle Way Approach was proposed by His Holiness as a mutually beneficial approach for both the Chinese and the Tibetans to resolve the issue of Tibet. The policy does not seek independence for Tibet from China, but a genuine autonomy within the framework of the People’s Republic of China”.
